Oprah Winfrey is a cultural phenomenon in many ways, but not to everyone. Although she’s mostly appealed to middle-aged women, she’s also had her share of controversy. But who hasn’t? Today Oprah will announce that she is ending her television show 2011 after 25 years since its first national broadcast. Talk about a surprise!
Toronto Sun: “Winfrey, who from a seat on the couch of her set in Chicago’s West Loop neighbourhood became a billionaire and one of the most powerful women in entertainment, plans to announce the final date for her show during a live broadcast on Friday, said Harpo Productions Inc. A Harpo spokeswoman declined to comment Thursday when asked if Oprah’s decision to end the show meant she planned to retire, or would move her broadcasting efforts onto a long-rumoured Oprah network.”

In “fat again” news, Oprah’s fat again. She reveals in January’s O magazine that she’s gained 40 pounds since 2006 and once again weighs over 200. The talk show host told the Associated Press:
“I look at my thinner self and think, `How did I let this happen again?’ I’m embarrassed. I’m mad at myself. When it comes to maintaining my health I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me. I didn’t follow my own fundamental rule of taking care of self first.”
In 2005, Winfrey said she starved herself for four months to lose weight. Ever since, her weight has yo-yoed. She weighed as much as 237 pounds and by late 1990 acknowledged she had regained most of the 67 pounds, saying “I’ll never diet again.” (Source)
No wonder she gained weight. When you’re as wealthy as Oprah, you can afford finer dining luxuries like rich creamy sauces, gourmet cheeses, and succulent pre-schoolers. That said, a billionaire like her should never be fat — she can afford to have a trainer, nutritionist, or Samantha Ronson’s finger on hand to keep her weight down. Of course if Oprah really wants to induce vomiting, she could always try ipecac lima beans watching her own show.

Oprah forced to poop like a normal person
During Barack Obama’s post-election speech in Chicago on Tuesday night, Oprah Winfrey was *gasp* forced to use a porta-potty. It was the first time in her life she’s ever used one. Via Starpulse:
Millions of Americans saw the talk show queen in tears during Obama’s moving post-election speech in Chicago, Illinois’ Grant Park - and Winfrey was so determined not to miss a word, she kept her legs crossed and dashed for a porta-potty as the new President left the stage.
She says, “In all these years at every event, I’ve said, ‘No, I’m not going to do the porta-potty’ but I said I better use it.” (Source)
This story has to be fake. Not that it’s beneath Oprah to take a monster dump in a porta-potty mind you — it’s just that my analytical mind will not bend enough to accept this as fact. First, I didn’t hear anything regarding hundreds of people dying in Chicago Tuesday night, which is a natural result of an Oprah public bilge dump. Second, unless someone finally figured out how to collapse space/time, how do you explain The Big O “dashing” anywhere and/or wedging herself into a portable toilet?

She really wanted to make $400 million
According to an in-depth study conducted by TV Guide, celebrities makes millions of dollars a year. Who knew! The results of their shocking research:
- Oprah Winfrey’s income: $385 million/year
- Simon Cowell: $50 million/year
- David Letterman: $32 million/year
- Charlie Sheen: $825,00/episode of Two and a Half Men
- William Peterson: $600,000/episode of CSI
- Mariska Hargitay: $400,000/episode of Law & Order: SVU
- Kyra Sedgwick: $275,00/episode of The Closer
At $385 million a year, can you imagine how much money Oprah has to pay in taxes? The poor thing. There’s no way I’d want to have to shell out that kind of money to the government every April. Nope, I’m happy just the way I am with my Ramen Noodles, 12 Guatemalan roommates, and scurvy. Besides, if you want to be fat, gay, and old you don’t need to make hundreds of millions of dollars a year . . . you just need to be this guy.
